After a while, a large iron pot was set up in the tribe. It was made by Lei Yan. There was not only an iron pot, but also an iron shovel and an iron spoon. All that was missing was Su Yuan to come and teach a few dishes.
The bark and bamboo used to make the bamboo were peeled and thrown into the big pot. In addition, Su Yuan also made several other pots, some of which were added with luminous moss.
Or maybe adding the super-tough spider silk spit out by spider ladies like Hongshuang, as well as various other materials that have passed identification functions, he believes are helpful for papermaking.
There were also some water elemental witches standing by, using witchcraft to control the boiling water in the iron pot to destroy the plant fibers in the pot.
He also prepares some thickeners like sandstone crystal clusters during the preparation process.
The aroma from the pots of cooked bark and bamboo strips attracted many beast girls in the tribe. They looked at Su Yuan curiously as he was cooking a bunch of inedible things.
"Chief, are we cooking?"
Among the onlookers, a little beast girl stuck her head out and asked Su Yuan in confusion.
"Of course not, little lotus seedling, do you want to eat tree bark?"
"No, the bark is disgusting. I ate it once before and it gave me a stomachache for a long time!"
The little guy shrank his head in fear, but his eyes were still watching the movements in the big pots.
The noise even attracted the busy Black Sheep and Red Fox, who rushed over. They walked to Su Yuan and looked at him boiling the bark with a puzzled look on their faces.
"Su Yuan, are you...making some kind of witchcraft?"
In the Black Sheep Seal, only she would add these strange things when she was brewing witch medicine, and then make it into a large lump of indescribable objects.
"Uh... no, I'm making paper. If you two are here, come and help."
Su Yuan looked at them as if he was looking at an old witch making medicine, and quickly captured the two of them to use as tools.
After steaming for about four or five hours, some of the witches had used up their magical powers. They found a place to sit and nibble on the octopus balls that Su Yuan had prepared for them.
"Almost done. Next up is the beating. Xiaoman, bring those wooden stakes over here."
Su Yuan used a stick to scoop up the plant fibers from the pot. After this round of steaming, they had softened into irregular strips.
On the side, Xiaoman and others brought some wooden stakes with a hollow in the middle, as well as a large wooden hammer specially prepared by Su Yuan.
"Okay, now I'll give you a task. Beat these tree barks hard until they turn into lumps of mud."
"Fox Nine, Red Fox, Black Sheep, when they're pounding later, add these things in. Add a little bit every time you pound for a while, and keep a record of where each one is placed on the wooden stake."
If the paper is scooped out after beating the pulp like this, the paper may not be able to gather together, or it may fall apart when squeezed, so Su Yuan plans to add the otherworldly adhesives prepared earlier when making the pulp.
Sandstone crystal clusters have a strong adhesion effect when mixed with water, which can be seen from cement. For example, cement has such excellent effects without this thing.
There are also various other strange materials that are ground into powder and added into it.
Finally, when the sunlight began to turn yellow, the paper pulp was finished. Here, Hongshuang had also finished making ten paper screens made of spider silk and bamboo strips.
"Watch me as I move this paper curtain around inside until a film forms on the surface."
Su Yuan arranged for people to put the paper pulp into several wooden barrels, and according to the method he remembered, he put the papermaking curtain into them, and soon a paper film was condensed.
The effect was much greater than he had previously imagined. Sandstone crystal clusters were added to this bucket, and the paper membrane was formed almost before the water was completely drained.
